Drilling down
-
Saw this amazing cabinet on the 1stdibs.com web site and couldn't resist modeling it with all its hardware and joinery. The original was made in the 1940s for the Cleveland Twist Drill Co. (The company, founded in 1876, is still around, part of Greenfield Industries.) Each of the little drawers has a divider, and the large drawers are divided into 10 compartments. The cubbies in the top cabinet seem to be spaced randomly, but that's what I saw in the original. The original is about 7 feet tall and 4 feet wide at the base.
Enjoy.
Best,

Thank you, tuna.

Love it!
And I got a bit of a history update when I looked up "Greenfield Industries". I was familiar with the name, but somehow always associated it with "Greenfield Tap and Die" another well-known name in that field. And I'm originally from Greenfield Massachusetts, where the later was located. -
